I am pleased to announce our January speaker – Ian Sandler.
Ian is a world-renowned Pick expert. He started his career over 30 years ago
in the United Kingdom working with mainframes and early forms of networking.
He was responsible for installing the first Mv based system in the UK in
1974. After moving to the United States in 1983, he was in charge of
Software Development for Bantam/Pertec, C. Itoh, Sanyo/ICON, and General
Automation where he was the person responsible for creating both R91 and
Power95. Ian has also spent 7 years working as CIO of a major Aerospace
company. He is very well versed in all the different flavors of Pick and
Unix, and currently works as high-level consultant to a number of large Mv
end-users in the credit collection, distribution, manufacturing and
insurance fields. Ian is also a published author, and an advocate for the Mv
model and its place within the larger open systems world.
Each of us can benefit from Ian’s views regarding the
multi-valued environment, both past, present, and future. I hope you will
attend.
